Foreign experts associated with the ambitious project flag up 'serious concerns' about its management.
Is India's ambitious project to reintroduce cheetahs, more than 70 years after they were declared extinct, facing a crisis?
They also expect the first litters with "realistic prospects of survival to adulthood" will likely be born in 2024 - wild cheetah populations are sustained by a small number of fit and fertile females, also called 'supermums', and experts reckon only one of the seven wild females relocated to India is likely to be one.
"While male cheetahs quite often injure females, we have never observed a case in which a female caused any significant injuries upon a male," the experts note.Pictures of the post-mortem sent to the experts the next day showed "inflammation of the skin over the neck and the back of the animal or the very large number of maggots that were clearly visible".
Also, three cubs died 10 days after leaving their nest. Their deaths were attributed to a heat stroke - they died on a day when temperatures reached 47C. The CCF believes "monitoring and information sharing" might have prevented the deaths. The statement said a team of officials were working in "close coordination" at the Kuno national park. They were looking at "real time field data" to decide upon the "health and related interventions" for the cheetahs. More than 30 monitoring teams comprising nearly 100 members and three vets are permanently based at the site for emergency treatment of cheetahs, according to a report by South African experts.
